There is no age limit. How many permenant teeth have erupted is the question. For Invisalign all teeth except wisdom teeth need to be in the mouth. Invisalign Teen allows space for the canines (Eye Teeth), 2nd premolars and 2nd molars to erupt. The earliest I have seen Invisalign Teen used at is age 10. By the age of 15 you should be ready for invisalign. Good Luck!

Teens are now getting Invisalign instead of the ugly braces of yesteryear. All you need is to have all your adult teeth erupted into your mouth and all your baby teeth gone. By 15 this has already occurred, so go for it!
